Are we friends now?

Even though Julie didn't knock down all the pins, there was a bright smile on her face as it was the very first time she had ever hit so many pins with one ball. There was amusement in Roman's eyes, and she saw him stare at her for two seconds before he shook his head. 

Roman went to sit on one of the benches, and Julie walked back to where Melanie stood, looking like she was trying to fix her jaw to her face that had fallen from shock. 

"We are going to get something to drink," said Melanie to Conner. 

"Didn't you drink enough cold drinks already?" Conner asked with a suspicious look at Melanie. 

"We want to drink fruit juice this time," Melanie said, waving her hand and telling him to concentrate on throwing the ball in the lane. She pulled Julie away from there. Once they had walked far away from the group of familiar people, who were busy scoring points in the bowling lane, she turned to look at Julie. "Oh my God! That was something."
